Benedict Rogers, co-founder of the British human rights organization Hong Kong Watch, sent a letter to Chinese leader Xi Jinping and the international community on Thursday with 10 demands to the Chinese Communist Party. He also announced that he would go on a 24-hour hunger strike on Christmas Eve in solidarity with prisoners of conscience and persecuted people throughout China.
Rogers’ ten demands to the CCP are: release all Hong Kong political prisoners, stop the genocide of Uighurs, stop the atrocities committed in Tibet, stop the persecution of Chinese Christians and Falun Gong practitioners, stop forced organ harvesting, release Swedish Hong Kong bookseller Gui Minhai, release Canadian citizens Kang Mingkai and Spavor, release Taiwanese human rights worker Li Mingzhe, stop forced labor in the global supply chain, and stop torture in China. The government has also called for an end to forced labor in global supply chains, and an end to torture in China. In addition, Rogers called on the “free world” to stop and resist Chinese bullying and to buy Australian wine.
Rogers said he will not be able to spend Christmas with his mother this year because of the new epidemic. But on the other hand, many Chinese have been forcibly separated from their loved ones due to the inhumane oppression of the Chinese Communist Party. He also called on more people around the world to join this action and make the same demand to the Chinese Communist Party.
